Welcome

I'm Kyle Hutzler - a sixteen year old highly interested in business, economics, and finance. Over the past two years, I've spent upwards of 200 hours working on a policy paper on education reform. My original intentions with this paper - completed independently - were simply to make the most of my perverse sense of fun. Along the way, I happened to learn of the Davidson Fellowship - a scholarship for gifted high-school students.

It was from here that I began to redirect the work for submission - garnering the support of professionals close to home and around the country. In July 2008, I learned that I was selected as a 2008 Fellow and was honored to attend the awards ceremony at the Library of Congress in September. Here you will find the portfolio as submitted in March 2008.

The ink and paper debate

Up to now, the essence of my conversation about this paper has been rather limited - books mostly. My local library has a reasonably strong section on American education and I have access to my school's professional library as well. Many of the books - like Joel Spring's American Education or Edith Rassel and Richard Rothstein's School Choice - have been read (using a liberal definition of the word) for explicit research needs. Between the books and articles, the views have been diverse in thought - helping more than anything in shaping this paper.

Now that the intense research and writing aspects have all but finished, I'm free to take a look at other books books to read (the fuller meaning this time). What do you think? I'll devour just about any facet of insight, just need some direction in getting to the books that matter most. After all, if worse comes to worse, I could always read How To Talk About Books You Haven't Read.
